The 2026 Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County Youth of the Year Gala was an unforgettable evening celebrating the resilience, leadership, and potential of the young people we serve. With more than 400 guests in attendance, this year’s event was our largest and most successful to date, surpassing our fundraising goal and generating critical support for Club youth across Tarrant County.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors, donors, and community partners whose support made the evening possible. Congratulations to all of our inspiring finalists, and especially to Ja’Miyah G., who was named the 2026 BGCGTC Youth of the Year. Her story, leadership, and determination embody the spirit of the Youth of the Year program and the bright future ahead for the next generation.
Stay tuned – the date for the 2027 Youth of the Year Gala will be announced soon!
